Cooking from Scratch

This soup contains NO dairy, and yet it was creamy and delicious. The creaminess came from pureeing half the soup and adding pureed cashews to the mix.

We made this sauce in a slow cooker using all fresh veggies, even the tomatoes!

What a healthy sauce! I want to make it again soon!

Ok, so these have a little Parmesan on them, but at least I used whole wheat flour in the dough!
